classification plan;
c. Adjustments
shall be effective no earlier than May 1, 1979.
3. Salaries in corporations adhering to the national compensation and classification plans and positions in corporations covered by the said plans shall be adjusted effective May 1, 1979 in accordance with the provisions of Letters of Implementation No. 82, 83 or 84 subject to confirmation by the Minister of the Budget.
4. Except as provided in no. 3 of this Letter, no increase in basic, allowances, or fringe benefits shall be made by government owned or controlled corporations pending the submission and approval of the Compensation Committee recommendations directed in item 1.
5. All corporations shall submit a copy of their latest plantilla to the Ministry of the Budget, together with any subsequently approved changes, as basis for the finalization of salary recommendations as directed under no. 1 hereof.
6. It is reiterated that no corporation may deviate from the position classification and compensation plan duly approved pursuant to P.D. No. 985, for the group of corporations to which it belongs.
Done in the City of Manila, this 31st day of March, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-nine.
